Abandoned at 2. Selling balloons at 8. And went on to impact 30,00,000+ lives. This isn’t a glow-up. This is what you make of your life. Devendra Kumar didn’t change his life. He changed the meaning of what’s possible. From streets → to changing millions of lives Some stories aren’t watched. It stays with you. Watch this. Then rethink your excuses.

It's interesting that the same Silicon Valley that looked down upon the software/IT services model as an inferior cousin to software products, has totally embraced AI+Services as the next big wave. Must commend their adaptability, while recognising what an opportunity 🇮🇳 has.

What’s wrong with AI generated replies? Do you have a problem that it is AI generated or is the problem that it’s not meaningful…I get you if it’s the later. On one hand, we promote using AI, knowing that not using AI is not an option anymore and on the other hand we look down upon AI generated content. Hypocritical. Haven’t we been using copywriters for decades (book authors, ad agencies, corporate blogs, presentations etc.) - essentially AI is doing that same job to some extent today (yes, with noticeable patterns). Even to get AI to write something thoughtful, you need to have an original point of view to guide AI to articulate it. The point in the replies is more important than whether it’s AI written.

Every post, I block and report a couple accounts using AI-generated replies. It feels much the same as picking up litter on a city street; I don't know if it has any effect, but it feels like I ought to at least try to keep the site clean.

With $5/$30 pricing for Codex 5.5, OpenAI seems to have taken a leaf from Claude’s market skimming play, and absolutely nothing wrong with it. Great opportunity handed over to Gemini - not pricing but quality (more importantly). The Google AI Studio IMHO is lame in current state but very promising.

Codex + 5.5 is incredible for the full spectrum of computer use. No longer just for coders, but for anyone who does computer work (including creating spreadsheets, slides, etc).

@sama If at all you can, please avoid wasting compute on images and videos for now. There are many more real world use cases awaiting AI can address. Thanks for 5.5 though. ❤️

1. We believe in iterative deployment; although GPT-5.5 is already a smart model, we expect rapid improvements. Iterative deployment is a big part of our safety strategy; we believe the world will be best equipped to win at the team sport of AI resilience this way. 2. We believe in democratization. We want people to be able to use lots of AI; we aim to have the most efficient models, the most efficient inference stack, and the most compute. We want our users to have access to the best technology and for everyone to have equal opportunity. We have been tracking cybersecurity as a preparedness category for a long time, and have built mitigations we believe in that enable us to make capable models broadly available. 3. We love you and we want you to win. We want to be a platform for every company, scientist, entrepreneur, and person. (My whole career has largely been about the magic of startups, and I think we are about to see that magic at hyperscale.)

@OpenAI Lovely surprise package. Thank you

Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

@ClaudeDevs Appreciate it Claude.

Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found. All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

@melvynx I don’t know if it’s a long standing bug, which @Claude has no clue how to fix. The $5/$25 (Opus) in-out tokens math doesn’t add up at all. If it’s not a bug, it’s most probably a short sighted market skimming play.

We can all say it... Claude 20x is dead. The previous "feel unlimited usage" doesn't exist anymore. Usage increases quickly and scales really fast... People who discover Claude Code now: you missed a time that will never come back, I think.

@aviralbhat + newest launch by OpenAI - Images 2

The difference is OpenAI focussed on flashy flamboyant but not really useful features (CustomGPT, shopping assistant, reminders, Ghibli, agent builder, Sora etc), which gave them momentary spikes but hardly anybody uses. Claude on the other hand is truly identifying the useful ones and shipping.

I remember there was a time when OpenAI was shipping a new feature almost everyday They've now gone completely quiet while that baton has been shifted to Anthropic Design is its newest daily launch to apparently kill Figma, though I think that's unlikely

@ecommerceshares Yes, this is a real recurring issue, and the $5/$25 (Opus) input output tokens math doesn’t add up at all. Are we missing something very obvious @AnthropicAI @claudeai

Claude Pro sub. Ran a Sonnet 4.6 prompt twice. 2 times. Not even on Opus. Immediately hit my session limit and 43% of my weekly limit. What??!?!

My current mental model basis what I am seeing around me and at InfoEdge in all our verticals - Naukri, 99acres, Jeevansathi and Shiksha. 1) AI is fundamentally deflationary for businesses. 2) When the cost of intelligence drops toward zero, the cost of doing many things drops with it. 3) Everyone becomes more productive but no one stays differentiated for long. 4) The natural outcome? Price compression. Margin pressure, Commoditization. 5) We’ve seen this with the internet, cloud, SaaS. AI is doing it to cognition itself. But this is only half the story. 6) AI is deflationary for existing markets and expansionary for new ones The big mistake 7) Using AI just to do the same things cheaper. That’s a race to the bottom. 8) The real question is, What becomes possible now that was previously impossible? Three ways I see AI creating real advantage 1) Solving problems that were too expensive to solve or not solvable earlier 2) Serving customers who couldn’t be served before 3) Delivering experiences and quality that wasn’t possible to deliver before In other words Don’t just lower costs. Expand the market. Because when capabilities commoditise , value shifts to, – Distribution and Customer Relationships – Brand – Trust – Proprietary data – Ecosystems The winners in the AI era won’t be the most companies which are the most efficient. They’ll be companies with the best imagination

@Ra1kshit And this 😞

The only thing man fears.

@WeekendInvestng Select all and delete works for me. You don’t see the folder empty immediately. Leave it for a minute or so and then refresh the browser.

has anybody cracked the code for how to bulk delete gmail .. the inbuilt select all and delete fails if nos are in few thousands... The large mail box renders the whole gmail experience to slow down. Any tips would be grateful. Please do not send me the obvious solutions. they are not working.

@Iamsamirarora Will the AI costs drop or increase? In my view, the leading foundation model providers will have to increase costs, currently being absorbed for customer acquisition - both B2B & B2C

One argument given is that low cost of AI will trigger higher usage and create volume growth- like lower telecoms cost has done for spread of telephony and lower electronics cost ( say for TVs) has deepened penetration beyond imagination. Someone remind me of successful telecom companies or TV companies( even in India only 1 of 8 original mobile companies survived and obviously no tv company) in the world. Separately, growth due to usage did not go to the incumbent companies but to companies like netflix ( who benefited from both low WiFi and high tv penetration) and others who started new businesses with new business models.

Human in the loop - absolutely! I don’t get this - on one hand, we know that not using AI is not an option anymore and on the other hand we look down upon AI generated content. Haven’t we been using copywriters for decades (book authors, ad agencies, enterprise blogs, presentations etc.) - essentially AI is doing that job to some extent today (yes, with noticeable patterns). Even to get AI to write / create something, you still need to have an original point of view. I think over time our minds would start focusing on the ‘content’ rather than detecting AI patters, which I agree are too obvious today but may not be as AI evolves.

today’s amazing new AI-designed artifacts will look like slop in a month, once everyone learns to recognize the patterns the model falls back on. like AI-generated writing, the output isn’t objectively “bad,” (in fact it is often technically quite good), but once it becomes predictable, it reveals itself as recognizably “AI.” this is undesirable because it exposes two separate skill issues: 1. the person lacks the design (or writing) taste to realize their work reads as obviously “AI” 2. they also lack the prompting skill to steer the model away from its default patterns this is why there will always be a signaling arbitrage opportunity in keeping a human in the loop for creative and many kinds of knowledge work, no matter how good the tools/models get

Would like to have this feature in @GeminiApp @ChatGPTapp as well please

A feature request @claudeai During several brainstorming sessions, users ask doubts, clarifying question, push back, bring in different viewpoints etc and those can lead to several sub-conversations, resulting in very very long threads. As a user I would like to have an ability to select and delete sub-conversations that I think are no longer needed to be part of the original brainstorming session. That way I can keep the threads clean, to the point and be able to revisit and find exactly what I am looking for.
